    Did I get a Photoperiod Seed when I ordered an Auto Seed? Need Help

    Update on my situation:
    1. its been 9 days since I shifted to a 12/12 light schedules (Although Seed Bank insists that they shipped AUTO Gorilla Glue seeds, after 8 weeks of no flowering, I shifted to 12/12 light schedule and I am monitoring to see if starts flowering)
    2. Today at day # 9 of 12/12, it looks like the beginning of pistills. Please see the 3 pics from 2024-04-01. (Can you see Pistills?)
    3. Please let me know if you see from the 3 pics date 2024-04-01 if you see the begining of Pistills?

    previously posted:
    I received two bonus seeds labled "Gorilla Glue Auto" with a Purchase from a reputable Seed Bank. I am growing one of these seeds now for 62 days and I still dont see flowers. So a couple of days ago, I shifted the light schedule from 18/6 to 12/12 just in case it was Photoperiod and not AUTO. How many days after turning lights to 12/12 can I expect to see the begining of Flowering?

    I contacted the Seed Bank and their records shows the bonus seeds were AUTO. They are now checking video of my order's assembly to see if they made a mistake and actually sent Photoperiod instead of Auto. I am waiting for their follow-up.

    I am posting Photos of "Gigi" at day # 62 which is today 03/25/2024. From the photos posted, Do you see any indication that is starting to flower

    Here are the details of the Growing activity (This is my 2nd grow and the first one was very successful and it was a Bruce Banner Auto):
    1. Vivosun tent 2 by 4 feet by 6 feet tall. Growing one plant with seed labelled by Seed Bank as a Gorilla Glue "Auto".
    2. Light is Vivosun VS1000 LED Light. 18 hrs on and 6 hrs off from 01/23 until 03/22. On 03/23 shifted to a 12/12 light cycle just in case the plant is Photoperiod instead of Auto. (The Distance to canopy as recommended thru the phases and has not experience light burn. Amount of light is even and leaves been trimmed on water days to enable light penetration)

    3. Soil is Coco Loco
    4. Nutrients: Growth Science Nutrients (Following indicated dosis. Plant always green, perky, and without any nutrient burns) photos of plant at 62 days old attached. Looks very healthy. Watering every 3 days after confirming top 3 inches of soil are dry. I let run approx 20% of the water to avoid Nuts buildup.
    5. Performed LTS and maintaining an even canopy
    6. Temperature as recommended and kept stable low of 74 F <= and high of <= 82.5 F. Avg 79.5 F.
    7. Humidity as recommended 75% at early Veg and 60 to 65% after. Planning to lower RH to 45-50% once it is flowering.
    I keep the Tent 2 by 4 in a Sun Room with Heater and A/C maintaining the room at 74 F and monitor both Temp and RH inside and outside the tent. I have been very successful at maintaing a good healthy, clean, environment.
    8. Water always with PH between 6.25 and 6.5 without exceptions.

    Do you see any evidence from the Photos that it has started to flower?
    Any advice?
    FYI, If I had known it was Photoperiod I would have flipped to flower on week 6 to make sure it doesnt grow too much for my tent.

    Thank you for your help

      Yes it looks like it's getting the idea it's time to flower. I look at the side nodes see how it's stacking getting ready to shoot out pre flowers. It could be another 7days and as the green starts turning yellowish on the top bud site is a sign for me also it's barely beginning to start it's journey to flower. Sorry man that's a bummer. But yes you can do some strong LST and top the main a couple nodes , good luck

        Thank you SoOrbudgal :-) I am noticing the growth by the nodes and I am encouraged with your comment and also research about how to know a plant is close to flowering.

        These are pics of my "Gigi" showing that after almost 9 weeks it is showing signs that it may be close to flowering. I am still not sure if it is an AUTO or Photoperiod. However, I am leaning towards a late AUTO Bloomer because the Light schedule from 18/6 to a 12/12 started in 03/22 and this growth may take tonger that 3 days. For now I am keeping it on a 12/12 light schedule.
        Is there anyone in the chat that by looking at these 3 pics can tell me with confidence that it is starting to flower?

          I can't tell from those shots. I need to see the tops of the colas.
